Were they able to define “women”?
Once upon a time, a man with a HS education could buy a house and support a wife and 3 kids. That’s pretty much the world I grew up in.
Then a college degree became pretty necessary to achieve the American Dream.
Then women entered the workforce. Soon, a family actually needed that second income if it hoped to own a house and have 2 kids.
Then a lot of people decided that the double income was enough to buy a house and some fun toys, and stay up to date on those college loans — but they’d have to skip the idea of having kids.
Recently, young people realized that in some areas, a “starter home” can cost well over $500,000. So, no home for them, they’d just rent an apartment.
But now apartments are unaffordable. So young people live alone, in Mom’s basement. No apartment, no house, no friends, no love life. They may have a job — but what’s the point??
This is a society in decline, and a lot of people don’t see it. A lot of people think that today things are exactly like they were in 1979. “I did it!!!! Kids today are just lazy and stupid! There’s no other reason for their failure!”
But I feel bad for young people. I think society as a whole has failed them.
Huh. Who knew. Dylan Mulvany was ahead of the game.😉🕺🏻
In ‘79 you were grateful if you had any job at all.
The biggest story of all is the HUGE uptick in wages 2017 to 2020. Look at the slope of those lines!
What could possibly account for such a huge growth in real wages in those years?
It all started when the dollar was no longer backed by gold.
Only because men are claiming to be women.
